College Scorecard reports school-wide earnings and price, not per-major outcomes for individual colleges. Program share is a concentration signal, not a promise of department quality. Use it as a proxy, then verify department-level outcomes with the school.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (2.5%), school-wide average net price ($15,882), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($44,030), and peer averages from 83 schools reporting a positive signal in this field. Evidence not included: department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, licensure eligibility, certification, or exam pass-rate outcomes.
Value among peer schools

Together, those evidence points place Southeast Missouri State University in the top 77% ROI position within this field set.
